partypoker has just launched online satellite tournaments awarding players entry into the upcoming 2010 World Poker Tour Legends of Poker main event, which will take place in Los Angeles, CA from August 18th until August 24th.
The partypoker prize package for the winners of these satellites is worth $8,000 and includes not only the buy-in for the 2010 WPT Legends of Poker main event but accommodations during the tournament and cash to apply towards travel expenses.
partypoker is now holding daily freeroll sit ‘n’ go WPT Legends of Poker satellite tournaments, awarding the finest fifty players from each a seat in the next level up the satellite ladder, the WPT Legends of Poker Sub Qualifier Rebuy. The Sub Qualifier Rebuy in turn advances winning players to a satellite Qualifier, which in turn advances the winning players to the WPT Legends of Poker Satellites themselves, in which the actual main event prize packages will be given out.
You can alternatively opt to skip over any of these levels and pay the direct buy-in for the level above. For example, there is a $1 direct buy-in for the daily Sub Qualifier Rebuy sit ‘n’ go satellites, a $5 direct buy-in for the daily Sub Qualifier Speed Rebuy sit ‘n’ go satellites, a $46 direct buy-in for the Satellite Qualifiers, and a $430 direct buy-in for the Satellites directly into the WPT Legends of Poker main event. Twenty percent of all players competing in one of these final weekly satellites, taking place on Sundays, will win $8,000 partypoker prize packages into the 2010 WPT Legends of Poker main event.
partypoker is the main sponsor of the WPT Legends of Poker and almost all of the stops on the World Poker Tour. As such, partypoker is constantly holding satellite series that award seats in the various WPT main events as their top prizes. Currently, in addition to offering seats in the WPT Legends of Poker in L.A., partypoker is also holding satellites for the first ever World Poker Tour main event to take place in London, England, the inaugural WPT London Poker Classic.
